|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Waterproof bags?? Beck Diefenbach, Photographer DeKalb | IL | USA | Posted: 4:10 PM on 10.12.09 ->> Anyone have any experience with a DiCAPac WPH10 or any other waterproof bag? http://www.amazon.com/DiCAPac-WPH10-Waterproof-High-End-Cameras/dp/B00212S3... I would be using a 1D or 5D with standard prime lens. I don't own a point and shoot. I'm not about to take any pictures below 3 feet deep, but I want a safe, inexpensive way to take photos on the surface of the water. I'm not a diver and don't need a $5000 waterproof housing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Beck  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I believe I bought this same brand for a point-n-shoot camera at a yard sale, the guy was going to give it to me for free but I gave him $2. It had a ziploc type seal and the roll-up with some velcro as described. But here's the weird thing, the front barrel where the lens goes screws off! I haven't tried it yet other than to put my pocket HD camcorder in it and blast it with a water hose, worked fine. I'd trust an Ewa-Marine in shallow water but not this DiCAPac if it too has a screw on barrel. There's no o-ring on any part of the screw-off barrel.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
